First time
Balance, uphauling the sail, and steering. By the end you'll sail out and come back.
- 2 hours
- Wide beginner board
- Land briefing first
From your first uphaul to planing on the fin, on Aruba's flattest water.
Windsurfing asks less of you on day one than kiting or winging: the rig is attached to the board, so nothing gets away from you. Most people are sailing across the wind within a couple of hours.
The flat, shallow water here is close to ideal for learning, and you can stand up almost anywhere in the teaching area. The wind blows offshore here, so we keep lessons inside the teaching area and stay on the water with you.
Equipment is included in every lesson.
First hour with your instructor, second hour on your own.
Split into three sessions, so the learning sticks.
One-to-one, beginner or advanced.
Balance, uphauling the sail, and steering. By the end you'll sail out and come back.
Beach start, upwind sailing, and using the harness so your arms last more than ten minutes.
Footstraps, planing, and your first attempts at a carve gybe.
PLACEHOLDER: freeride and beginner boards, rigs from 3.5 to 7.0.
PLACEHOLDER: swap sail sizes through the day as the wind builds.
PLACEHOLDER: leave your own kit with us between sessions.
From $40 per hour.
Optional damage insurance from $5.
